Jane, what was the ingredient that Root Beer now lacks? Because it just doesn't taste as good as it used to. I think my favourite root beer used to be Dad's Root Beer.

Was it sassafrass or sasparilla? I know, I'm not Jane.

I Am Not Jane - that's the title of my next novel, a story of sexual confusion on the Isle of Martinique.

I don't do too well with pet/street names.

Poe Plain? Barrett Tranquility? Mikey Crow?

I love podcasts. I listen to several of them a week. Topics ranging from Disney to Musical Theatre. I love the newly found Broadway Radio podcast, especially now since I have MANY to ketchup on.

I sometimes (most of the times) forget about our Broadway Radio Show. Here's a thought... wouldn't it be easier to make it a podcast? One that you can either download here on HHW or get through iTunes? Much more accessible to everyone.

DR Matthew, re Disney:

Do you by any chance listen to "Inside the Magic"? I'm only asking because I have a good friend who's addicted to it. I've listened a couple of times.

The volunteer administrators met today at the new Center for Tissue, Innovation and Research in Kettering, a suburb of Dayton, OH. After our business meeting, we toured the facility and learned all about tissue donation - mostly skin and bones. It's absolutely amazing and was made very personal for us because our former president is on the wall of life as a recipient: Marty.

Yes, from the very beginning (2005!!) It's not my favorite Disney podcast, but it can be informative.

I am having a craving for a soda pop. Something Black Cherry sounds so good as the temps rise towards 102 today in Salem, Oregon, 97301.

That sounds good. Wow, it is hotter in Salem than here.

Where was I? Root beers. The other reason is that there's an incredible variety of them. My go-to, however, is actually the ubiquitous A&W. (Got a Proustian moment about that, too.)

For diet sodas, which is mostly what I indulge in on a routine basis now, it's: Coke Zero (a godsend), diet Dr. Pepper, Diet A&W, and I, too, like that original chemical taste of TAB. Isn't there still a saccharine version available somewhere?

Oh, and DR MBarnum mentioned orange creme sodas. I generally don't like creme sodas (except the occasional root beer that's especially creamy -- that's just fine). I did like Orange Julius, very much, though -- but only the way it was made at the O.J. stands in L.A. in the 1970s. Tried one here a couple of years ago and it was a complete waste of taste bud expenditure.

Tab was the only diet drink I could tolerate.

I remember going to the A & W drive-in. I never liked their root beer. Baskin Robbins had a root beer I thought was exceptional. I'm not sure what they have now is the same formula.

You are right about today's Orange Julius. They haven't been good for years. You can make your own, and it is even better than the original Julius's. Pour Orange juice over vanilla ice cream, add a little vanilla, and beat.

I was told this soooo long ago I don't remember. Maybe it was the guy at BR's when I asked why it didn't taste good anymore. I was going to guess sassafras after a google search which stated the FDA banned sassafras root bark in 1960 because of its high content of safrole; tests showed the compound was carcinogenic in rats.

Can you remember when the taste changed? I thought it was still good until later in the 60's.

The demolition crew scooped out part of the cable/wires that connect to our AC. It wasn't their fault as Keith didn't think he needed to warn them about the wires.

It should be re-connected tomorrow.

The storms kept no one from arriving in Dublin today, so Kim Criswell and Jim Cleverton arrived safely. The cast is all here, and they are really wonderful. We had a good rehearsal this afternoon, broke for a 30 minute snack and went back to run all of the numbers that hadn't been touched.

After that, David the conductor, Kim, and I went to dinner and closed a pub. It's midnight in Dublin and I am going to bed.

It is getting rather warm in the house. With the heat, dust, & smoke we don't want to open the windows. The coolest room in the house is our bathroom, as if that does us a lot of good.

Having been born and raised on the West Coast, the drink was always called pop to me. It was only when I moved to New Jersey that I had to get used to calling it soda (or in NJ - "soder"). When my dear mother came east in the middle of August to visit me, she learned the lesson quickly. Stepping into a McDonald's in the Village, she checked the reader board and saw on the lists of sodas, that they had Root Beer. When they handed her the cup, she looked at it and said, "Where's the ice cream?" I don't know who was more confused, my mom or the McDonald's employee.

<A Root Beer Soda!>

Funny, I just had two small fried chicken breasts from Popeye's - I've been craving them for about a year and today was the day - but I told them no biscuits, so without the biscuits it's less than three hundred calories a breast.

Jose, I am so sorry to read about the loss of your friend.
